Sometimes if an application is well designed and built that can be enough. It depends on other things though, such as if the marketplace is crowded or not. Google is an example of something that won out because it was the better application, search wasn't a largely cluttered field though and they were taking a largely new angle on in. If your putting out another social networking app at the moment though it's unlikely to catch on just because it is the better designed app, just look at the troubles something as large and as well backed as friend feed is having.
